I would have given it 5 out of 5 if it wasn’t for the ridiculously small bathroom sink, a cloakroom sink really…with nowhere to put your toiletries next to it…and the shower is equally a silly design; too small, shower curtain sticks to you and the water goes everywhere. BUT the staff are great, communal areas are great, the buffet breakfast is excellent and the breakfast dining room is a lovely space. Comfortable bed, had to ask for extra pillows…Icelandic hotels only seem to give one pillow each on the beds which is weird. It’s not as soundproofed as they make it out to be…we could hear people talking in the next room and people walking around in the room above…and doors opening and close. BUT (!) everyone went to sleep early because they’re all sightseeing in the nearby national park so luckily it wasn’t a big deal. Bring ear plugs just in case.

No staff on service after midnight (including no wakeup for Northern Lights). Small bathroom and even smaller sink. Breakfast buffer was very good and included with room. I think that was a change, and very happy. Great area of the country.

Great Location for Northern Lights
Great Location for seeing the Northern Lights; which we did while we were there; Fantastic!! Daniel at the reception was terrific offering up suggestions for seeing them; and for other site seeing as well. Restaurant Calor on the top floor offers terrific views; and delicious dinners. Breakfast buffet was included. Free on site parking. Hotel does have elevator. TV in the room...this was only location where we received more than one channel. Rooms were comfortable---my only negative is a "double room" is actually 2 twin beds pushed together...that gap between the two gets wider with tossing and turning; so that woke me up a few times. We had two nights at this location. Would stay again.

Super clean, modern hotel. There's a small outcropping you can take a short hike up nearby to see over the entire area. Restaurant was on the top floor, which allowed for nice views while eating. Included breakfast was great! The hotel is in an area with only some geothermal buildings and a school around it, so if you need anything, you're driving to it.

A bit isolated but nice. The hotel has a nice restauran and there are no real food options anywhere close, except at a gas station and at the Krauma hot baths. Note that the hotel operates it's own green house to grow vegetables and that this green house is brightly lit 24hrs a day.

Very nice hotel. We stayed here after a week in a camper van so the beds were like clouds. Very clean hotel with a wonderful breakfast in the morning. It is not really close to anything so unless you plan to eat before your stay plan to dine in their restaurant. Would stay here again.

Great stay at Hotel Varmaland as we drove the Ring Road. Friendly staff, comfortable beds, easy parking and clean room. We enjoyed the dinner and breakfast from their hotel restaurant. I recommend making dinner reservations if you have a preference of time.

Mixed review but very nice hotel
Check in staff was brusque. Kitchen staff at end of the meal were using ‘f’ word repeatedly from the open kitchen. Food was excellent. The breakfast was superb in quality and variety. Shower drain was not properly slanted so bathroom. Water filled floor around toilet. Check out gentleman was very friendly and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness
Not sound proof at all. When another door down the hall opens, your door shakes loudly enough to wake you up. There are stairs for rooms on the first floor but no ramp to help move the luggage. Parking was also an issue. My car almost blocked in because people decided to park however they want since there aren’t enough parking spots for the guests. I would say if you have another choice near by dont pick this one.

Part of a bigger trip and touring Iceland. Wood have given a stronger review but: the restaurant within the hotel was unwilling to accommodate my brides food allergies. I expected better from a European restaurant at that price range. However the food is excellent!! I felt bad eating in front of her as she drank her dinner.
